Hi Irene,
Thanks for the quick reply. I am looking mostly for Joan as she and my mom were good friends in school. My mothers name was Ethel ( micky) Atkinson , now Forrest.
Mom talks often about Joan and has been wondering about her lately..
this is my email address

wa_bergmann@yahoo.ca

if you could drop me a line or ask Joan if she would like to hear from mom that would be wonderful. Its strange both are from the Isle of Man and both end up living in Canada. Mom is in BC .
hope to hear from you soon
Wanda.
